The first section contains the terms that are to be used in the document and their definitions. The second section is concerned with the operational terms relevant to the agreement, which means that it points out the amount to be borrowed, the schedule of its repayment, and the interest on the repayment. The second section of the loan agreement is of special interest for the financial agents of the borrower.

For commercial banks and large finance companies, "loan agreements" are usually not categorized although "loan portfolios" are often broadly characterized into "personal" and "commercial" loans while the "commercial" category is then subdivided into "industrial" and "commercial real estate" loans. "Industrial" loans are those that depend on the cashflow and creditworthiness of the company and the widgets or service that it sells. "Commercial real estate" loans are those that repay loans but that depend on the rental revenues paid by tenants who lease space, usually for extended times. More granular categorizations of loan portfolios exist but these are always variations around the larger themes.

The first thing that should be checked while signing the agreement is the interest rate as it may create stress on you while repaying the loan amount. With the current income level, you should be able to validate whether you can afford to repay the loan at the interest mentioned in the loan agreement.

To sum up, the loan agreement contains the terms and the conditions that are pointed out so that the borrower can draw out a loan. The terms and conditions are set by the lender, which can be a bank, or another type of financial institution. In fact, the loan represents a type of "facility" that is offered by the lender, and that is why the agreement on the conditions under which a loan can be taken out is also referred to as a facility agreement. The agreement comprises four sections.
